We receive a lot of questions from parents about kickboxing equipment and children's sizes. People are unsure about which sizes they need. Parents are used to children's sizes such as size 134 and this works slightly differently with kickboxing equipment. In this article we try to provide a guideline for kickboxing equipment for children and the corresponding children's sizes.
Sizes of children's kickboxing equipment: children's boxing gloves, shin guards and kickboxing shorts
Boys and girls size 110 to size 128
Size 110 - 5 yearsSize 116 - 6 years
Size 122 - 7 years
Size 128 - 8 years
There is a very big difference between the brands and the sizes they carry. For example, Twins runs very small, Booster has certain pants that run very small, while some pants from XPRT run a bit larger. We always try to provide a size chart or indication per brand and per product.
Boxing gloves size
Children aged 5, 6 and 7 years should choose 6 oz and children aged 8 years should choose 8 oz. If your son or daughter is bigger or smaller than his peers, the choice can of course be adjusted. A good choice of boxing glove is the artificial leather competitor glove from XPRT for € 30. We talk about size here, but in fact this is the weight of the boxing gloves.

Children with size 110 to size 128 can best choose a stocking model shin guard. We recommend size XXS or The difference in length is always just less than 1 cm between the XXS, XS and the S. The best choice is the black stocking model shin guard or for girls the pink version . children's shin guards .
Size kickboxing shorts
We have a wide range of kickboxing shorts and only some of them really fit small children. We have had many children aged 5 to 8 years in our store, so we know what is and what is not possible. For boys and girls we recommend the bottoms from XPRT Fight Gear. Especially the black and white , the Fight Girl and the all black or pink in size XS or XXS fit perfectly. These pants start at €30. It is also best to take Booster pants in size XS. The difference between XS and S is standard 1-1.5 cm in length and also in width for all brands.Boys and girls size 134 to size 152

The differences in height and weight are greater in children in this age category. Our advice is always an indication and if in doubt you can always call or better yet, visit our store. The weight of the gloves will be either 8 oz or 10 oz. This depends on the stature of your son or daughter. The size of the shin guards will be S and the size of the shorts will also be S.
